After a day of getting our things all sorted,it was nice to be on the road again and for once been able to start seeing more of Tanzania. The ride is pretty straight forward. The road almost all the way is lovely and tarred. It is surprising how little traffic we encounter, both in the form of pedestrians and vehicles. Thomas and Lily, the couple we met in Mozambique said that Tanzania is a buzz with peo
Le and they are everywhere. Funny,we experience quite the opposite. About 30 km before Kilwa, we come across a guy by the name of Edren. A Turkish guy who is attempting to circumnavigate the world using human effort alone. He is on a bicycle with a small trolley behind. He arrived in Mozambique after crossing the Indian Ocean in a canoe. Yes! A canoe. He holds the record for the most amount of solo days canoeing, in the region of 650. And David and I think we are breaking out of our comfort zones!
We eventually arrive in Kilwa and decide to spoil our selves and decide to stay at the Ruins Lodge. We manage to negotiate what we though was a good rate, at the time, of 80 dollars for both of us. As it turns out this was actually quiet expensive for what we got. But hey, you never know until you try.
